The challenge portion of the 2013 DRC Trials was
comprised of eight tasks replicating a disaster response.
The two constraints levied on these tasks were time of
completion (faster is better) and the level of human
interaction required (less is better).

Tasks:

Task 1 = Vehicle
Task 2 = Terrain
Task 3 = Ladder
Task 4 = Debris
Task 5 = Door
Task 6 = Wall
Task 7 = Valve
Task 8 = Hose
The scoring for each task was a maximum of
four points. In case of a tie, the fastest robot time
was factored into the score. Each robot was allotted
30 minutes for each task. A score of zero was given
to any robot that could not complete a task.

Final Team Scores:

SCHAFT = 27

IHMC ROBOTICS = 20

TARTAN RESCUE = 18

MIT = 16

ROBOSIMIAN = 14

TRACLABS = 11

WRECS = 11

TROOPER = 9

THOR = 8

VIGIR = 8

KAIST = 8

HKU = 3

DRC-HUBO = 3

CHIRON = 0

NASA-JSC = 0

MOJAVATON = 0

Although still open for negotiation, a maximum of
eight teams will advance to the DRC Finals 2014 with
DARPA funding. This funding support could reach up to
$1 million for each team.
